Flooring Renovation

Renovating floors can involve a variety of tasks, from cleaning and maintenance, repairing existing flooring or even entirely removing and replacing flooring. The sort of restoration work will vary among the variety of the pre-existing floor. In older houses with period floors like flagstone, quarry tile or parquet, restoration will usually consist of repair and cleaning of the current floor as it will likely be a desirable element of the property. In modern houses with carpet or real wood floors, renovation is more likely to involve totally changing the existing floors, either like for like utilising a similar material, or by changing from one material to another. For wooden flooring, the method of restoration often consists of sanding the top layer of real wood down, cleaning and then revarnishing or staining. Tile floors can be cleaned and any broken or damaged tiles exchanged, followed by regrouting or resealing. For carpets, maintenance can usually only extend to cleaning of the pile, any further problems or damage will generally require replacing the carpet.
